Other objects are simplicity of construction and eliiciency of operationWith the forgoing and other objects in view which will appea as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination ofdetails of construction hereinafter described and claimed.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, in which- Figure 1 represents a full view of a buckle with asingle flat supporter passing through and around said buckle with adouble turn in accordance with the present invention.

12 to 13 or from the upper edge 9 to the bottom edges 15 or to conformto a surface against which it may lie, and may be dished in or raisedout at 16 to allow the support 6 to ride over to relieve the tension andstrain from the edges 17 and assist the support 6 to pass through andaround the slots 4: and 5. The slots L and 5 are preferably curved toassist the support 6 to slide through the center of the said slots 4Land 5 regardless oi the position from which the saidv support 6 passesthrough the said slots 4L and 5 to prevent the edges 17 of the sup port6 from chafing in the corners of the slots 4 and 5 at 18.
